How do I use the new world editor which is supposed to be so powerful to simply make a map that all the available civilizations and leaders can play on, or add the remaining leader options back in on maps that currently are locked with one leader for each civ?
Thus far every time I make a map I wind up locked into the leaders and civilizations I started the game with no matter what, further I seem locked into a static starting location.
This version of civ was supposed to be the most customizable so why can't I seem do what I could do in moments with the old Civ 3, or even civ II map editor? Random starting locations for one example! Adding and deleting civilizations (in civ 4 leaders) on the fly for another!
I honestly don't care much about XML or python (what happened to C anyhow? I dont want to learn a new language just to mod one game!) I just want a map editor that WORKS. After that maybe I'll think about the rest.
So anyone have an answer? Maybe a developer? This is the basic stuff after all. What I expect from a civ game before I even touch all the promised bells and whistles.
This is just frustrating me.
